They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one....more

"I would’ve given her more if she had wanted that.I would’ve given her everything if she had asked."

The story

Kyler and Sydney have been best friends ever since they were kids, and secretly in love with each other ever since they were teenagers.They get trapped in a house at the ski-resort during a snow storm, which forces them to spend time with each other, and to admit to their feelings.

I've kept the story thing short cause honestly, you don't need to know anything more before you start this book, and second point, nothing much happens in it anyway ahhahh :DDD

Sydney

She's been in love with Kyler forever, and it's getting more difficult seeing him over and over again with his string of one night stands.When she's forced to spend time alone with him, she can't deny how she feels anymore...

How I liked her...Difficult to describe because on one hand, I felt really bad for her every time there was a misunderstanding between them, one scene made me cry :((( But on the other hand, it could all be avoided if she only used a bit of her brain instead of jumping to conclusions :(((

Kyler

He's been in love with Sidney forever, always thinking he's not good enough for her :(((But then, for him, no one is good enough for Sidney :DWhen they get trapped during the storm, he'll find that he can't fight his attraction...

How I loved him...Easy to describe cause I loved him a lot <3Gosh, he is just amazing and I love every chapter from his POV <3 He is uber-swoony, the things he says <3 OMG! But then as a guy, he's a bit thick in the head and does the wrong thing sometimes :(( But I don't care, I still loved him :)))

The sex

It has to be mentioned cause this is NA and not every book is the same regarding the sexy times, but this one... very very hot :)They are both 21, in case you're wondering so it isn't icky to read bwahhahhaThe "education" scene, oh my. Very nice :D And even though the one against the window was all wrong, it was still uber hot.So for those of you who like a bit hotter NA, this will be PERFECT :)

Overall

The writing - LOVED the dual POV, and I mean LOVED! It was amazing to see both sides, especially his *sigh*, and especially in the sex scenes bwahahahahhah

The characters - There are two other characters introduced that I'm betting will have a book of their own in this series. Me likey.Something about Kyler and Sydney... the thing that bothered me most here and why it's a 4 star rating is the constant misunderstandings and jumping to conclusions :(I don't like that in any scenario, well Ok a few times but through all the book?I don't think they had a convo that didn't somehow end up totally misinterpreted. Oh well.Other than that they were both pretty great, especially Kyler <3

The romance - uber swoony and sometimes just sweet, but not yucky sweet that makes you want to throw up :) The one where you go all mushy and gooey (like the heroine here did often ahahahhaha)

The angst - For those of you who are used to uber-angst, you probably won't find it here, but me? I don't read angsty and this WAS angsty to me, so I am happy with myself and the fact that I handled it and I didn't mind it at all :))))

The first half of the book was amazing, simply brilliant, 10 star material, but near the end something happened that just lowered my enthusiasm I guess, nothing bad but I wished it stayed the pace it had from the beginning :))

In the end, I recommend this book to everyone because it really was so lovely, wonderfully romantic, too damn hot, and just an easy read <3

PS: This book does not have a cliffy or anything of the sort,the ending is wonderful <3

Frigid is NOT my favorite book by this very talented authors, and as much as I loved it, I did have a few issues. The constant misunderstandings and lack of communication throughout this WHOLE friends-to-lovers trope became tedious and tiring after awhile. And even though I liked both of the main characters, Kyler's voracious man-whoring ways was more of a turn OFF for me, NOT a turn on. I still fell in love with him but he was noVERY LOW 4 stars!!! BUT I still loved SOOO much about this book!

And even though I liked both of the main characters, Kyler's voracious man-whoring ways was more of a turn OFF for me, NOT a turn on. I still fell in love with him but he was no Cam, Daemon, or Hunter! As for Sydney, my heart ached for her throughout most of this story. I found her character endearing and sweet but her constant lamenting and pining over her feelings for Kyler bordered on the pathetic and made her out to be somewhat of a doormat and a pessimists where he was concerned.

All that said, I very much enjoyed reading this story. I was captivated, enthralled, and drawn in by this couple's complex and endearing friendship. These two very human and charming characters have been in love with each other for years, and I couldn't get enough of their witty dialogue, complicated feeling, and off-the-charts chemistry. They brought this story to life for me and I stayed up most of the night reading their imperfectly perfect LOVE story. Other than a few hiccups, everything about this book is what I love in a good romance.

Frigid is a charming, fun, well written, and steamy friends-to-lovers story. The happy for now ending was AMAZING! It left me feeling giddy, dreamy, and with a HUGE smile on my face.

J Lynn/Jennifer L Armentrout is one of my FAVORITE authors and I highly recommend this book.

Enjoy!

Note: For those wondering who the characters of Cam, Daemon, and Hunter are and what books they are from, here is the answer:

It wasnt bad BUT Sydney was frustrating most of the times.

Secondly, shirtless guys should be banned.

Ohh WTH am I talking about?

The story:Kyler and Syd grew up together. They had known each other since they were kids and they were best friends. Now that they have both grown up things and feelings have changed. They are afraid to face or admit the truth but these two liked each other for a long time.

Kyler is your typical player type and definitely off limits to Syd .On the other hand Syd hates messing around with guys because that's not her character. An annual trip to his mum's house will bring them closer.

Since their friends won’t make it there due to the storm, they have to stay alone. Syd's mind is going cray-cray and she starts showing her feelings. Things are awkward, actually too awkward but Kyler deals with them as he should and that's why I liked him.

The story is not limited only to the showing your feelings part. This couple is being sabotaged by someone. In the beginning nothing seems serious as it was expected to lose power but then it was obvious that someone was messing up with them.

Kyler: I liked him a lot. He was the definition of a manwhore but like all men he hadn't found someone who will care about. As soon as he realized that Syd was in love with him he started understanding his own feelings towards her too. Syd has a weird way of showing that she loves him but he doesn't want to treat her like some kind of a cheap date and that's one of his qualifications .Kyler always respected the females and Syd is not different. I loved the fact that he tried hard to gain her but the truth is that he never lost her.

Syd:She is the reason I'm rating this book with 4 stars. Ok I liked her but there were some moments that she needed some serious slapping.I definitely get it when she is mad at him because he is fucking around. What I don’t understand is the fact that she was doubting him."What had he meant by that? Was he not planning to break the habit because he was still planning on sleeping around?"Seriously??I thought that she was sometimes acting like a child which bothered me a lot but thank God Kyler was there to save these annoying moments.

Overall: I enjoyed it a lot . It was a funny and an enjoyable book . Truth to be told it's not one of her best books but it wasn't disappointing either . I really liked the fact that Kyler wasn't the human version of Daemon Black , like Cam , but even if he was I would have still enjoyed it a lot.

Strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind. I was pulled off the stool and my surprised shriek was cut off when my back hit an immoveable wall of muscle. I was enveloped in a bear hug that smelled of the outdoors and light cologne.

Only one person in this world gave me hugs like this or felt that hard… that good. Kyler’s deep voice rumbled through my body. “When did you get here?”

My feet still weren’t touching the floor. “A little bit ago,” I gasped out, gripping his forearms through his sweater.

“What the hell? Have you been hiding from me?”

Paul leaned back against the bar and grinned, but it was strained. Not that I could blame him. Kyler kind of always busted in and took over every situation. “I haven’t been hiding,” I told him, flushing when my eyes met Paul’s. “And can you put me down?”

“What if I don’t?” he teased. “You’re so little I could put you in my pocket.” “What?” I laughed. “Put me down, you idiot. I was having a conversation.”

“Sorry, Paul, I’m stealing her.” Kyler backed away, giving me no choice, because there was no way I was breaking his hold. He turned, dropping into a chair nowhere near the table he’d been at, pulling me into his lap so I was sitting sideways. He looped his arms around my waist. “I’m not happy with you, Syd.”

I arched a brow as my heart rate picked up. He was the only person who called me Syd; the only person I let call me that without kicking them in the shin. “Really? Over what?”

“You’re talking to that douche.”

“What douche?”

He leaned in, resting his forehead against mine, and my breath stalled in my chest. Why must he always get so damn close? And he really, truly, always did. “Paul.”

“What about him?” I put my hands on his shoulders to push back, but his arms tightened, holding me in place. “Are you drunk?”

“Am I drunk? Aw, now you’ve gone and hurt my feelings, Syd.”

I smirked. “You don’t have any feelings.”

“Now. Now. That wasn’t very nice.” His impossibly long lashes lowered, shielding his eyes as he lifted his head, rubbing his cheek along mine. My fingers dug into his shoulders as desire twisted tight in my center. “I have all these feels, Syd.”

It took me a moment to respond. “You’re so full of it.”

He rubbed his cheek against me like a cat seeking a belly rub, and I fought the urge to purr. “I’m full of something.”

“Piss and vinegar?” I suggested as I desperately tried to ignore the way my pulse pounded in all the right places.”

He chuckled deep in his throat as he leaned back against the seat he took hostage. “Back to the serious nature of our conversation.”

“Which is: why are you playing Santa right now?”

Kyler’s lashes lifted and his eyes drilled into mine. “Hmm, now that sounds interesting. Have you’ve been naughty or nice this year, Syd?”

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. My cheeks burned as his gaze turned knowing. “I know what you’ve been.” He kissed my forehead. “You’ve been nice.”

My shoulders slumped. I didn’t want to be nice. I wanted to be naughty like Blondie. When she’d been in his lap minutes before, I doubted Kyler had been teasing her.

Maybe I should scoop some ice up and see what he did, except that would require me doing so out of a random glass and that was just gross.

UPDATE: 6/17/2013Look at me dying and then coming back to life not once, but TWICE. I can't help it, though. More awesomeness has been revealed. The first three chapters, an AWESOME slideshow (and by AWESOME, I mean INCREDIBLY HOT AND ATTRACTIVE), and a possibility of getting the ebook 2 WEEKS EARLY! Ahhhh!

Let us all bow our heads and have a moment of silence for the books you’re planning to read after this one.

And let us pray that they’re even half as good. ;)

Jennifer Armentrout AKA the Yoda of sexual tension does it again with this book of scrumptious amazingness!

Seriously, I didn’t even know you could write a sex scene like that! GEEZ! And it’s not just the way this woman can write a sex scene that makes her writing so electric… it’s the way she architects her characters. Sydney, for example, is so damn relatable and Kyler is so damn… SEXY! And it’s the chemistry she creates between these two that’s going to have you at the complete mercy of this book.

You’ll see. ;)

I was Kyler’s best friend. And because of that, he would never love me the way I loved him.

Ever since he pushed her off the merry-go-round as kids, Sydney and Kyler have been inseparable. These two were best friends and were comfortable as worn denim around each other. But people didn’t understand it. Because Sydney was the timid bookworm, and Kyler…

\

Kyler oozed sex appeal, a dangerous mix of looks and intelligence wrapped in an air of unpredictability.

Even as kids, Sydney loved him. And it was the innocent kind of love. The kind of love a little girl has for a little boy as they eat cold watermelon together on warm sidewalks.

But as they got older, that loved changed. Because Sydney fell into it.

And as Kyler turned into that sexy, dangerous guy that turned heads everywhere he went; Sydney grew quieter and quieter how she felt about him. On the outside, you wouldn’t be able to see it.

♦You wouldn’t have seen the shards of unshed tears that glittered her eyelashes at their highschool prom when Kyler left early with another girl, and didn’t keep his promise of saving her a dance that night.

You wouldn’t have seen the way her throat held her breath captive every time Kyler gave her those bear hugs he only gave to her.♦

♦You wouldn’t have been able to see the way she looked at him when they had those sunrise conversations that only two best friends can have.

But now it’s their last year of college.

And Sydney has come to peace with the fact that she’ll take whatever piece of Kyler she can get. But even after so many years… she still can’t help but wonder why he’s so seemingly adamant about seducing every girl he comes across. And never her.

Because she never realized that there was a reason why Kyler went out of his way to make sure that they would always just remain friends.

Syd would always deserve far better than me, no matter how deep she lived inside of me.

♦Until they go on their annual winter break ski trip.♦

Because now, they’re completely alone after a blizzard completely overtakes the ski trip, causing their friends to not be able to make it; causing Sydney and Kyler to live in very close quarters with the other; and causing Sydney to make a friendship-shattering proposal.

“And what is it again that you want?”

I started to look away, but his fingers landed on my chin, holding my gaze to his. “I… I want you.”

“You’ve said that already. You’ve also said that you want what the other girls have gotten. You know what that is?”

I nodded the best I could.

“I fucked those girls. That’s it. No strings. No commitments. Nothing. And that’s what you want? You want me to fuck you?”

No. I wanted so much more. “Yes.”

He sucked in a sharp breath. Anger flashed across his striking face—real anger, brightening his cheeks.

“Turn around.” He ordered.

♦She’s always wanted him.And he’s always secretly wanted her.♦

But Kyler drew lines between them for a reason.Lines that Sydney wouldn’t be able to uncross.

What's it all about ...Kyler Quinn and Sydney Bell have been best friends since well, forever. They have shared life, friends and momentous occasions together but the one thing they haven't shared is their secret love for one another, but all that changes when these two 'meant to be' characters are caught up in a snow storm which forces them to spend some quality alone time away from the distractions of Kylers man whore ways and Sydney's shy crush.

Meet the characters ...Kyler Quinn is a loveable and equally likeable man who believes he's not good enough for the best friend he loves. The antidote to his secret feelings is to be the university's resident man whore, but with a golden heart and a face to match its not long before we see the real side of this hero. Readers be prepared to fall for Kyler, six pack, dimples and a personality to match, you'll be adding to your book boyfriend lists.

Sydney Bell has crushed so long for her best friend it's a little painful. The author created a character that is shy, a little awkward and lacking in confidence, it may be the case that some readers may find her on the annoying side, but I warmed to her wall flower ways and championed her goal to be brave and go for her man. As the story develops so does Sydney and I liked that the author choose to throw in some true to life insecurities into Sydney's inner- dialogue.

What I loved ...The beginning of 'Frigid' definitely grabbed my attention, I was interested in how the story would play out and I was hooked with the characters from the start. I make it no secret that I love a friends who love each other/unrequited love themed story, in fact it's my favourite of all types of romance and the connection between Kyler and Sydney was heart melting. 'Frigid' certainly didn't live up to its title the connection and tension had me sitting up and taking notice, J Lynn knows how to write HOT, it might be a snow themed story but that was the only cold thing about it. This sweet story ticked all my 'loved up' boxes and I hand on heart enjoyed this book thoroughly, overall it left me with a respectable four plus star feeling.

Final thoughts ...This story left me with a huge smile on my face, and although I rated it 4 stars there were more than a few glimpses of a 5 star story. Fans of this author or readers who enjoy a friends to lovers entertaining story should definitely try this out. A quick, sweet and at time blush-worthy romance, enjoy readers ... Go get your Kyler fix....more

What a wonderful, unexpected breath of fresh air! I've had such a hard time with the New Adult genre lately. Too much DRAMA, too much ANGST, too many OVERREACTIONS and too many UNREALISTIC situations. If I wanted to hear about that kind of thing, I'd go ask my ten year old about the gossip going on in her fifth grade classroom. There would be many, many BFFs crushing on the same cute boy and loads of OMG moments followed by mean girls ROTFL.

Fortunately, that was not the case here. Sydney and KylWhat a wonderful, unexpected breath of fresh air! I've had such a hard time with the New Adult genre lately. Too much DRAMA, too much ANGST, too many OVERREACTIONS and too many UNREALISTIC situations. If I wanted to hear about that kind of thing, I'd go ask my ten year old about the gossip going on in her fifth grade classroom. There would be many, many BFFs crushing on the same cute boy and loads of OMG moments followed by mean girls ROTFL.

Fortunately, that was not the case here. Sydney and Kyler's story felt realistic and heartwarming, just angsty enough to make my tummy clench, and ri-dic-u-lously hot sexy times without any form of BDSM theme to be found. This was truly a New Adult novel to sink into, and I did. I read it in one sitting, staying up late long after my eyes wanted to close.

Sydney and Kyler have been friends since they were six years old, back when friendship was built on simple affection. Kyler was the poor new kid in town, Sydney the sweet little girl in class. The years have gone by and they remained extremely close. Each of them secretly feels affection for the other, and not just the love of a friend. But Kyler's womanizing ways have led Sydney to feel inferior and not up to his standards. A girl's mind is an odd place to be, isn't it? Because Ryan feels exactly the opposite as she thinks he does. He's never felt good enough for her.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I still was the same white trash boy from the trailer park who couldn't believe he pretty little girl in class wanted to be friends."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Sydney was perfect - the actual embodiment of the perfect woman. She was practically pristine and fresh. She was untouchable. She was everything to me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both are now in college, nearly graduating, in fact. Both are looking at their future not as 'the future' but as 'right now'. This is a true New Adult in the fact that Sydney and Kyler are growing up. Yes, they still like to party a bit, they still retain some freshness that is exclusive to youth. But they are also mature, looking to make decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Kyler's done with the random women who have never been all that great anyways. And Sydney is tired of being the girl in the background of Kyler's life. She's ready to move on from him, ready to find her own kind of happy and stop pining over a man that will only ever be her friend.When their group of friends heads to Kyler's family winter home on the ski slopes, they don't plan to be stuck in a wild blizzard for the entire week. But the friends get stuck on the road and have to turn back, forcing the reluctant lovebirds to spend a tension filled week alone together, with their feelings finally brought to the surface.

I felt so bad for Sydney, because she tries to be brave and let Kyler know how she feels. But everything comes out wrong, and Kyler completely misunderstands what she wants from him. He just can't fathom that she loves him like he loves her, because he's set her so far above every other girl. Not to mention that he's seen how it disappoints her to see the girls go in and out of his revolving bedroom door. He is his own worst enemy...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Man, I'd fucked up this morning. One fuck up among hundreds, if not thousands, and each time I was scared shitless that it would be the last time. That she would get fed up with me - with the girls, the partying , the whatever - discover that she was a thousand times better off without me, and walk out of my life.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For those of you sick of the man whore, I have to say that I actually completely forgave Kyler for his ways. He was so repentant and so down on himself. His character kind of reminded me of the promiscuous girl that we all knew in high school, sleeping around and looking for love...not realizing that they were hooching their way into loneliness. I felt bad for him.

Their feelings inevitably come to light, and sweetness and hotness ensues. I simply loved how their relationship progressed after the big revelation. The author adds a little bit of humor, more sensuality than sexuality, but still with an unexpectedly high level of steam. I was so impressed with this book, and although I'd held off on reading this author because of her obnoxious bent toward awful cliffhangers and unfinished stories, this was a fully told romance with a very definite end. ...more

I know it's Jennifer Armentrout we're talking about but sadly all of her books (except Covenant Series) have the same bland characters. I remember lusting over Daemon when Obsidian first came out but now I just can't remember why. Most people, who obsessively read new adult novels will love her every book but I just wish it had more substance. Something other than a girl with self-esteem issues, a guy who has abs to die for and a mileI can't believe this book. It was so, what's the word? Awful?

Most people, who obsessively read new adult novels will love her every book but I just wish it had more substance. Something other than a girl with self-esteem issues, a guy who has abs to die for and a mile long peen. It's getting pretty old and the sex scenes weren't that interesting because I felt like I read them in another NA novel. Why doesn't anyone write a book about a nerdy guy and a freaky girl getting stuck together on a project or something? I don't know, something like that. Why do they always have to be hot, supermodels?

Sorry for rambling. The reason I didn't like Frigid, aside from the obvious one- repetitive type of characters, it was hard for me to see these two pining over each other for years. Sure, they mention how they hated seeing the other person with someone else but I didn't felt it. And then you have the forever speech in the end. How can they think they will be unbreakable after they only spend a couple of days doing it? Please, I don't believe for a second they will be together forever. We don't live in a fairy tale. This is real life and people break up for over the smallest thing. I'm not a pessimist but a realist.

I need to prepare my shield because Armentrout' fangirls are going to come for me. ...more

Dear Lord, and here was me being nice and giving "J. Lynn" another chance. As soon as the Convenant series is done, I am done. Done with everything.

NOW THAT I'VE SIMMERED DOWN: In the interest of those who actually want to read this book: Consider yourself warned. This review isn't going to be a lightly hashed recap of what I didn't like. This isn't going to be me being all nice and lovely like I usually am. I'm annoyed, more than usually so, and this time, I've had enough, so I'm going into full haul rant mode, and frankly, if you don't want to read a rant, then skip along to the other reviews. This will have spoilers, and I repeat again, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Also, any views shared here are my personal views, and by all means I don't think that you HAVE to share them. And yes, I am well aware that this is fiction. And it's just a book. And I didn't have to read it. But I don't care.

Okay, so with that out the way, let's begin. I don't really have any major qualms with Jennifer Armentrout. I love the Covenant series, and the first time I read Obsidian, I really enjoyed it. I've never read any of her other adult books, and after reading Wait For You, I was extremely let down. But the fact is, I wanted to give her another go. And Frigid was that go I was planning on giving. I pre-ordered my copy and psyched myself up thinking that if anything, the whole 'fall in love with your best friend'trope would prove some satisfaction. After all, this is the girl who has for the last three weeks, after being sick, has lived off stories of bad boys and best friends on Wattpad.

For the first 20% of this novel, everything was going fine. Then Kyler and Sydney started arguing in the car, and from there everything went downhill with one big eyeroll. Let me explain what I hated about this book:

Last time I checked, it took two people to be in a relationship, whether it was strictly platonic or not. Sykler (I'm only giving them the nickname because I can't be assed writing out their names all the time), simply put, do not understand the meaning of communication. Which for two people who were supposed to be best friends, they lacked - a lot. All I got from the book was that Kyler was the guy that Sydney was in love with and they just happened to know each other from childhood. There was nothing, absolutely nothing, throughout the whole entire book that made me believe that they were the epitome of inseparable. Even when Kyler moans about Sydney hooking up with Nate. Not when Sydney is bitching about all the girls that Kyler's hooked up with when they were young and how he left her countless times for other girls. Nothing about their supposed friendship was believable. Instead, all I got from them was how perfect the other was, which was mindsappingly nauseating.

Sydney, for someone who was 21 and graduating university, was the most stupidest, sappiest idiot I've ever read. What makes it even more hilarious is that she's studying Psychology, and she hasn't got two freaking brain cells to make up her own decisions and choices. Even in the end, it's other people that point out to her that just maybe she was being too harsh on Kyler. SPOILER: So basically the whole shebang of the story is that they are trapped in this and some psycho is outside cutting power awhile there's a snowstorm outside, turns out its the crazy boyf of a girl that Kyler hooked up with ages ago, and then when the storms stops, Kyler goes out to look for humanity and Sydney ends up going to find him but finds out instead that he's at the girl's house so apparently they *have* to be doing the dirty, and yeah...the rest is just insignificant words on a page. So Sydney's all cut up because of Kyler supposedly being a man whore(which, may I point out, SHE KNEW ABOUT. Because hey, isn't that the point of the whole book?) and won't give him the time of day to explain what really went down before she was attacked by Mr. Crazy (more on that later), which is actually that this Sascha chick wanted Kyler to help her put tarp in her windows because her cray cray boyfie went cray cray and shot them all out. And because Sydney thinks that Kyler is a cheating man whore slut, she doesn't bother to listen to his side of the story...so the big blowup at the end could have all been avoided if she had just TALKED TO HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE. She was also highly immature. If at any point she'd been rational in her feelings, maybe half the stuff that happened wouldn't have happened.

And let's not get started on Kyler. He was so superficial it made me want to barf. He declares that he was in love with Sydney since forever, but he never once shows her that he's in love with her. He's all, I'm in love with her, I'm in love with her at the second half of the book, saying he'd been in love with her for ages, but the whole start of the book is him being completely clueless about Sydney. I mean, I understand if you've just realized that you've been in love with your whole life, but jeez, make up your mind kid! He treats Sydney like shit all the time as well.

Which leads me to my next point. When will there be a line drawn between New Adult and Adult Romance/Erotica? I swear, at least 30%, if not more of this book is devoted to sex. And the most random sex too. Now, I'm not a prude. I do like some sex in my novel. But what makes it okay to have most of it in your novel? I mean, I get that this is a genre about exploring who you are and all, BUT WHY ALL THE FREAKING SEX? I'm sick of it. Wny does being 18 to 25 mean that you have to fill a book full of sex scenes instead of creating real, mature and relational characters? I don't want to be reading about sex. If I did, I'd be reading a Mills and Boons. I'm sick of reading about guys that are ruled by their dicks. So I'm not a guy, but seriously? Kyler's form of showing love was a boner and a jack off session thinking of Skyler. And this novel, ohhhh it took the cake. Because as soon as Skyler discovered their feelings for each other, it was just them having sex. Seriously, at least give your characters more backbone than that. There's a scene - the most weirdest scene I've ever read in my life, where Sydney says that she wants to have sex with Kyler because she can't tell him that she's in love with him (say what? you'll have sex with the guy because it;s the only chance you'll have to be 'close?' NO. JUST NO.), and Kyler's all like she's more than a one night stand, and Sydney's all like, "You don't want me?" and Kyler doesn't explain himself so of course they think the worst of each other, and then Kyler pushes Sydney up against a freaking FLOOR LENGTH WINDOW and started to 'pleasure' her. Okay, firstly, WTF? I know it's a blizzard, but for someone meant to be as meek but in control as Sydney is supposed to be, she's okay with being slammed against a window? Nah ah. SOMEONE COULD SEE YOU. And guess what? THEY DO! Crazy guy shoots the window and it explodes!

Alright, so now it's time to explain - or try to - Crazy Guy. So the weird subplot of the book was that this Crazy Guy was out there playing serial killer during the storm. It was a plot that could have made the book better than it was, but just fell flat. The climax was when Kyler left to go do something at the Lodge, and was pulled away by Sascha, Crazy Guy's ex, and while he was 'fixing her windows' Crazy Guy was assaulting Sydney. Who Kyler supposedly was madly in love with at this stage, and couldn't just say no to Sascha. Here's how the conversation should have gone between Kyler and Sascha:

S: Hey Ky, want to help *wiggles boobs* fix my windows that my horrible boyfriend broke?K: Aw Sasch, I'm sorry, but I've actually only come out to get some more firewood, I don't have time to fix your windows because I need to get back to my girlfriend.S: Aw Ky, baby, you don't do girlfriends. help me.K: Sascha, there's like a freaking resort full of people here that you work with. Get them to help you with your windows. I'm a guest here, not the maintenance guy. *flounces off to be with Skyler*

But it didn't and it took to, I kid you not, about 10% of the book left for him to actually admit that he shouldn't have gone off with Sascha in the first place. What the hell dude, if you're in love with a girl, you don't just leave her to crash and burn if another chick whose clearly looking to get into your pants is hitting on you, whether your a good guy or not.

The final icing on the cake for me was a bit of a personal one. This is where I stress again this is my personal opinion, and am in no way meaning that it has to be yours, but if it's one thing that annoys the hell out of me, it's Christmas. And I love Christmas. I love that despite the fact that not everyone in the world is Christian, people can come together on one day of the year to be with their loved ones. But there's one thing I do not tolerate: people's blatant disregard for what Christmas is really about. It's about Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

"What about the presents?"Yeah, I don't think that's what Christmas is about."Andrea huffed. "That is what Christmas is about. Anyone who says differently is trying to make themselves look all spiritual and shit. I keep it real."

OH HELL NO. HOLD UP. I draw the line there. I don't care if Christianity got the actual date wrong. Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. It's not about receiving presents. The whole freaking reason you get presents is because of the 3 Wise Men bestowing gifts on the baby Jesus. I get that not everyone is Christian. Not everyone believes in God. But the fact still remains, this is a Christian celebration, not some excuse for you to get presents. That's completely materialistic way of looking at it. It's like saying Happy Holidays because you don't to offend non-religious people. It's bullshit. Anyway, I'm not going to get caught in a religious debate.

So I'm leaving my rant there. As you can guess, this book ruined pretty much any hope that I'll read another JLA novel, whatever name it's under. I'm so freaking sick of New Adult being some sort of mindless sex romp for unrealistic new adults who have no concept of the real world and how to act in it. NA is supposed to be about wearing the big girl's panties, and all we get is a load of rubbish. Now, that might sound hypocritical coming from "me", but whatevs. I've had enough. When someone's able to portray realistic characters, then I'll pay attention.

I really hope that if you do read this book, you'll enjoy it. I don't ever want to say to someone never read a book because I hated it. It's not fair. I will admit one thing though: if you want to read something that you don't have to think twice about later on and insipid characters are what you want, then be my guest and read the book....more

Okay, I know I’m biased because I pretty much love everything that Jennifer Armentrout writes. But I’ve got to say that I loved this. Every second of it.

So, Kyler and Sydney are best friends since they were kids. Sydney is a little uptight good girl that’s in love with Kyler since forever. But she knows Kyler doesn’t do the commitment thing: He sees, he does, and he leaves. And she knows that he will never see more in her that a best friend. So for years she suffers, wat5 Snow Bunnies Stars!!

But she knows Kyler doesn’t do the commitment thing: He sees, he does, and he leaves. And she knows that he will never see more in her that a best friend. So for years she suffers, watching him with a different girl every night and knowing that she will never one of them, let along be the one who stays there all the nights.

Kyler had a rough past and that made him not having the best idea about himself. He’s in love with Sydney for years but he doesn’t even know why she wants to be friends with him, so why she would want to be more? He doesn’t believe he deserves her so he searches for something to feel that void in other girls. Too bad that void is never filled.

But when they are stuck alone and together in the middle of a snowstorm, the pressure begins to rise and the stakes are getting higher. And when things start to get unraveled, their relationship will reach a point that they’ll never be able to go back from. And they have to know what to do with that.

I loved this book. (I know, I’m repeating myself!) I love their relationship and how it developed. Although annoying me a little, I also liked Sydney a lot. But meh, the female protagonists normally annoy me, so that’s okay. I definitely loved Kyler. He is sweet, and cocky and extremely sexy. Well, there’s really nothing more to say except that this is a book you can’t and will not want to miss.

Being in love with your best friend is rough, especially when the feelings are one sided. I was Kyler’s best friend. And because of that, he would never love me the way I loved him.

Sydney has loved Kyler for as long as she can remember. They have been best friends since they were children. Kyler is a bit of a player (understatement ;) and Syd knows he doesn’t see her that way. She won’t risk their friendship by letting him know how she feels. Even though it hurts seeing him with g4.5 Stars!!!!

She won’t risk their friendship by letting him know how she feels. Even though it hurts seeing him with girl after girl.

Kyler remembers when he and Sydney first became friends. He was just the boy from the trailer park, and Sydney saw past that, saw the real him. He has always cared for her. Syd is different than any other girl. She is special. She is too good for any guy, especially him. Any feelings he has for her, he covers up by being with random girls.

Syd would always deserve far better than that, and far better than me, no matter how deep she lived inside of me.

It’s their senior year of college, and it’s winter break. Syd and Kyler are going to the ski resort like always. A huge snow storm hits. They get stranded there. Alone. While stuck alone, Kyler and Sydney are forced to deal with these feelings they have for each other.

Kyler was AMAZING- oh so sexy, swoony and just yummy. I like Syd’s description of him...

Any female with ovaries would be affected. Kyler oozed sex appeal, a dangerous mix of looks and intelligence wrapped in an air of unpredictability.

Kyler had some of the best quotes. He was charming, and endearing. I loved reading from his pov. I felt for Sydney. Unrequited love is the worst. She was sweet and funny at times. And OMG the heat between these two- WOW. Can I say ‘The Education’ scene. Those of you who have read this know exactly what I’m talking about, and if you haven’t it’s something to look forward to.

Really, is there anything better than a best friends to lovers story?

I just love it. And it’s written by the fabulous J.Lynn/Jennifer Arementrout who couldn’t write a bad book if she tried. This wasn’t my favorite book of hers, but I really enjoyed it. Sweet, sexy, steamy, a small amount of suspense, and a little angsty. There is some definite miscommunication going on, which was frustrating at times. The ending was wonderful. I give it 4.5 stars! A must read for NA lovers and JLA fans!

Frigid will be available in digital formats on July 30th 2013Print release of Frigid will be November 5th 2012

I'm guessing they meant November 5th 2013...

The model for Kyler:

Holy hell. He's HOT.

***

And a teaser! <3

Strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind. I was pulled off the stool and my surprised shriek was cut off when my back hit an immoveable wall of muscle. I was enveloped in a bear hug that smelled of the outdoors and light cologne.Only one person in this world gave me hugs like this or felt that hard… that good.Kyler’s deep voice rumbled through my body. “When did you get here?”My feet still weren’t touching the floor. “A little bit ago,” I gasped out, gripping his forearms through his sweater.“What the hell? Have you been hiding from me?”Paul leaned back against the bar and grinned, but it was strained. Not that I could blame him. Kyler kind of always busted in and took over every situation. “I haven’t been hiding,” I told him, flushing when my eyes met Paul’s. “And can you put me down?”“What if I don’t?” he teased. “You’re so little I could put you in my pocket.”“What?” I laughed. “Put me down, you idiot. I was having a conversation.”“Sorry, Paul, I’m stealing her.” Kyler backed away, giving me no choice, because there was no way I was breaking his hold. He turned, dropping into a chair nowhere near the table he’d been at, pulling me into his lap so I was sitting sideways. He looped his arms around my waist. “I’m not happy with you, Syd.”I arched a brow as my heart rate picked up. He was the only person who called me Syd; the only person I let call me that without kicking them in the shin. “Really? Over what?”“You’re talking to that douche.”“What douche?”He leaned in, resting his forehead against mine, and my breath stalled in my chest. Why must he always get so damn close? And he really, truly, always did. “Paul.”“What about him?” I put my hands on his shoulders to push back, but his arms tightened, holding me in place. “Are you drunk?”“Am I drunk? Aw, now you’ve gone and hurt my feelings, Syd.”I smirked. “You don’t have any feelings.”“Now. Now. That wasn’t very nice.” His impossibly long lashes lowered, shielding his eyes as he lifted his head, rubbing his cheek along mine. My fingers dug into his shoulders as desire twisted tight in my center. “I have all these feels, Syd.”It took me a moment to respond. “You’re so full of it.”He rubbed his cheek against me like a cat seeking a belly rub, and I fought the urge to purr. “I’m full of something.”“Piss and vinegar?” I suggested as I desperately tried to ignore the way my pulse pounded in all the right places.”He chuckled deep in his throat as he leaned back against the seat he took hostage. “Back to the serious nature of our conversation.”“Which is: why are you playing Santa right now?”Kyler’s lashes lifted and his eyes drilled into mine. “Hmm, now that sounds interesting. Have you’ve been naughty or nice this year, Syd?”I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. My cheeks burned as his gaze turned knowing.“I know what you’ve been.” He kissed my forehead. “You’ve been nice.”My shoulders slumped. I didn’t want to be nice. I wanted to be naughty like Blondie. When she’d been in his lap minutes before, I doubted Kyler had been teasing her. Maybe I should scoop some ice up and see what he did, except that would require me doing so out of a random glass and that was just gross....more

Kyler and Sydney have been friends forever but for quite a while, they have each wanted the other as more. Different reasons have stopped them from following through on anything. Finally, things start to change when they are stranded in a cabin during a snow storm.

For the most part, I enjoyed this story. It's not complicated and it's an easy read. Besides the emotional yo-yo, there is some suspense but even that is easy to figure out.

I did like both Kyler and Sydney. They are sweet and e3.5 ★'s

I did like both Kyler and Sydney. They are sweet and easy to like...even Kyler with his "playa" ways especially when you find out more information about that. I loved how they knew each other for sooo long and had so many great memories. "This is Forever."

Sydney is really great but she did get on my nerves with the constantly going back and forth as far as telling Kyler. It just seemed to go on for too long! And then even after things started going, she still worried about everything.

Kyler wasn't much better and then top his problems off with his just not thinking! He did and said some things without thinking about the consequences or how it would come across.

I did enjoy Kyler and Sydney when they got together. I loved that Kyler took care of her and made things good for her. I liked that Kyler did things "differently" with Sydney...she just didn't really appreciate what that meant. It really helped getting both their POV's...I just love when authors do that! The tattoo and the picture frames were really romantic.

Andrea and Tanner are really great best friends. I was impressed how they were always there for Kyler and Sydney and I loved all their meddling. It would be interesting to see how things go between them. I saw that there is a Frigid #2 and I was hoping it would be their story but it says it's a companion. I'm guessing more of Kyler's POV?

The suspense plot added a little spice to the story...in a really creepy way. It wasn't hard to figure out who it was but I did enjoyed how it all came together.

The big question is did Kyler redeemed himself? I think he did and I liked his reasoning's. I thought it was wonderful how both Kyler and Sydney's parents acted.

Favorite quotes: (slight spoilers)

♥ “I want what the other girls have had.”

♥ “I will never regret being with you, Syd. Never. And I wish I could go back and relive those hours. I wish I could go back in time, and instead of hooking up with some chick, I’d man up and tell you how I really felt for you, how I’ve always felt for you.”

♥ "I've loved you my entire life," he said, eyes locked on mine. "And I would love you for the rest of my life if you'd let me, Syd."...more

Kyler doesn't care about countless girls she slept with but he does care for his best friend Sydney. However, he tries to persuade himself that he is not good enough for her but he still has this urger to "protect" her from every potential suitor.

What happens when only two of them get stuck in a ski resort, cut off from the rest of the world for couple of days?

I wasn't sure what to think of Kyler at the beginning. He was arrogant and so full of himself. But fortunatelly, this book is written in dual POV and seeing things from his perspective definitely helped a lot. But still, idea of hero sleeping with 90% of girls he comes in contact with did not sound that much appealing to me, especially when his reasons were all wrong... However, through out the story he charmed his way into my heart but I never ended up truly loving him!

Syd was a very naive girl. Like really girly unexperienced naive. But since she realized that denial didn't work and she grew some "lady balls" I started to like her.

Frigid was full of suppressed feelings, sexual frustration and plenty of jelaousy. There was drama, angst and some sexy parts too and I definitely enjoyed this book. This was not the best by J. Lynn/Jennifer L. Armentrout. Guess I have been spoiled by her previous books and this story kind of pales in comparison with her other stories!

No one could replace me in his life. I knew that. I was the friend who knew everything about him and whom he trusted above everyone else. I was Kyler's best friend. And because of that, he would never love me the way i loved him.

Sydney has been secretly in love with her best friend, Kyler, since what seems like forever. She hates that he is a man-whore and a player who never says 'no' to a girl that wants to jump his bones. The only excpetion? Her.

For Kyler, Sydney is the only girl who owns

For Kyler, Sydney is the only girl who owns his heart. He doesn't deserve her, so he stays away and cherishes the only thing he can - their everlasting friendship.

But when they get caught in a snow storm, they are stuck in Kyler's mum cabin. Alone.

Can they stay away from each other? Or will there secrets and passions be laid down bare? And what if they cave - will anything ever be the same again?

Jennifer has provided us with a cute romance novel that i liked. But there was something missing in it. I felt like there was not enough 'depth' and that the book was not throughout very well.

The first part of Frigid i actually really liked. I thought it will be a 4 star read. Do you know what happened? Sydney happened.

What i thought of Sydney?She was such an annoying, naive, and stupid protagonist that at times i thought 'Who the f*ck did you fall in love with, Kayler?'.In my opinion him not being 'good' enough for her is a big piece of bullshit because he deserves so much more than an overreacting, overbearing and not knowing anything girl.

Kayler kisses her and she's like "Why did you stop?"Kayler pushes away from her and she's like "Don't you want me?"She does something during sex or making out and she's like "You didn't like it, did you?"

What i thought of Kyler?:Kayler i naturally LOVED with all my heart. He was a great guy! Protective, sweet, thoughful, tender, and freaking HOT! I heart you.

The plot is wayyy old. I think i read that a thousand times already. Since this is Jennifer L. Armentrout we are talking about, i was disappointed because i thought she would write something a bit different.At times i zoomed out whilst reading and even skipped a bit.

What i hated the most was how predictable the book was. The ending when(view spoiler)[Sydney got attacked by Zach and the other guy and she didn't even think it might be him, she didn't recognize him (only later)(hide spoiler)] i was like...

But the reason i gave this book 3 stars was because i personally could very much relate to falling for you best friend (been there, done that, honey), and also because the book was a bit entertaining.

I LOVED the sweet and hot scenes between Kayler and Sydney.

And after A LOT of the misunderstandings gets sorted out they finally get their Christmas HEA.

Overall, I liked Frigid. A cute, short read that i recommend you read in winter for full enjoyment :)

"How much snow are they calling for?" "Somewhere between alot and holy fuck."

"I was in love with my best friend.And it could be worse, I guessed. I could have been in love with a male stripper or a drug addict. Kyler Quinn was neither of those things. Although he could easily be passed off a male stripper with those jaw dropping good looks and messy brown hair, and he was addictive as any drug out there."

This is the story of hottie Kyler and sweet Sydney. They have been best friends since they were kids, and somewhere between falling out a tree and high school...the lines got a little blurred, at least with Sydney. She's in love with Kyler but is afraid to say anything. Can a weekend away stranded in a blizzard bring these two together? Will Kyler feel the same way about her? You just have to read this to find out. I loved this book sooooooooo much! Kyler was so yummy...i wanted to eat him up!! Seriously, i recommend this book to everyone! ♥

I loved her, NOT in the best friend kind of way. NOT in the almost a little kid sister kind of way. I LOVED her in a way that transcended those things. And i was IN love with her.

HE had a sexy throat. Hell the boy had a SEXY everything.

“Syd, are you not wearing a bra?” Before I could answer, his hands drifted up further, until the fingertips brushed the swells of my breasts. “You’re not. Very naughty, Syd.”

“Sometimes words weren’t enough— they couldn’t cover the feeling. This was one of those times. So I closed the distance and kissed her, putting everything I felt for her, every promise I made her, into that one kiss.”

“It’s alright. I mean, sex can be messy sometimes and these things happen and… I really need to stop talking.” Kyler chuckled deeply and then he kissed the tip of my nose. “Have I told you how adorable you are?” Adorable? I’d been aiming for sexy or hot. I shrugged one shoulder. “You’re fucking adorable.”

I'll love you this year, I'll love you next year,and then forever

I'll always need you, I'll never leave you, I'll love you forever

And if you ever change your mind, think again, and give me timeYou're my first love, you are my last love, you're my forever

I love this feeling, my heart is beating a mile a minuteNo other woman has ever been so deep inside in itAnd when the sun shines on our love,

that's when I thank the Lord aboveYou're my first love, you are my last love,you're my beginning

And when the sun shines on our love, that's when I thank the Lord aboveYou're my first love, you are my last love,

you are my everlasting loveYou are my first love, you are my last love,you're my forever

“I love you." I paused, taking a deep breath and our eyes locked. I saw the world in his gaze. I saw our future. "And that is forever.”...more

I loved a lot of things and so wanted to love the story more but if I'm completely honest this one fell slightly short of the 4 star grade for me....yikes...I know a lot of people loved it more....

I loved the effortless writing style, the theme, the characters, the dynamic between Kyler and Sydney; their relationship and friendship is really clear to the reader but the story for me was a little disappointing. I felt it was slightly contrived in places (view spoiler)[ it was the guy going after kyler because of an ex girlfriend that annoyed me most, it was obvious what was happening and it just made me roll my eyes, and then Sydney did something that was just plain daft, with a stalker on the loose, imo... sorry (hide spoiler)] I needed a little more depth and complex issues...just something more.

So, the first half of the book did not pull me in, as I would have liked, but the second half saved it for me.

From 50% on it started to HOT up....it was SMOKING HOT and sexy as hell....Kyler and Sydney are dynamite together...WOW...the second half of the book bumped my rating up from the 3 stars I was feeling....Phew!!!!

There were times, in the second half of the book when my heart broke for them.....I love a book that pulls at my heart strings and makes them ache!!!

(view spoiler)["I've loved you my entire life," he said, eyes locked on mine. "And I would love you for the rest of my life if you'd let me, Syd." (hide spoiler)]

Sydney -I was in love with my best friend. I was Kyler's best friend. And because of that, he would never love me the way I loved him.

Here's the kicker- Kyler has feeling for Sydney but just doesn't think that he is good enough for her......

I am a sucker for sweet, romantic, angsty, unrequited love. Throw in some hot sex, fanning yourself "Education Sex" and you have a fabulously delicious story. This story is told in both POV's, which I love!! Being able to get into both characters heads is

This story is told in both POV's, which I love!! Being able to get into both characters heads is wonderful!! This is a story of discovery, of taking chances, of love found and lost and found again.

Kyler and Sydney head out for their annual ski trip with all their friends. They ride together as they will be going home for Christmas Break after their trip. They head out earlier than their friends and after they get there, the storm of the century is coming their way..."How much snow are they calling for?" "Somewhere between a lot and holy fuck." Isn't it everyone's fantasy to be snowed in with the guy you have secretly loved for all your life!!! As you can imagine, they finally admit their feelings. It's not an easy thing and there are several mess-ups along the way. But the discovery of their love is beautiful, sad at times, steamy, heartfelt and most of all heartwarming.

"Did I think it was awesome? No. It wasn't awesome. It was the fucking best thing I'd ever felt, baby."

She was untouchable. She was everything to me

Sydney and Kyler were best friends forever and hide their feelings towards each other. As their annual holidays, Sydney, Kyler and bunch of mates were going skiing. Due to situation, they were stranded together and the heat turns on. They discover themselves. There was frustration, where I just wanted to know their heads together, happiness, pain and most of all LOVE.

"So, it's just you and Sydney? YepInteresting" I love Kyler's mum for that!

With snow around, it was magical. This book is really brilliant book to be read during winter. It has been a scorcher here and I am dreaming of snow.

"Yeah, that's how it works. I just woke up one morning and was like, 'gee I want to screw Kyler""It doesn't matter that I've been in love with you -""I've loved you my entire life""I've loved you since pushed me down on the playground"

Their story is sweet and adorable and again a perfect read during winter! The steam factor oh boy!!

I liked, but didn't love this one. (Maybe I was expecting too much after my total obsession with Cam). I liked the beginning, and wow, I felt every second angst from Sydney's seemingly unrequited love for Kyler. But at some point, when they were both dancing around their feeling and attraction, while spending WAY to much time thinking about how they weren't good enough for the other, I just got frustrated and bored.

You'd think then that I would have welcomed the "action" thrown in at the end, but it just perpetuated my frustration. I was annoyed with Sydney's assumptions and reaction, and the I was doubly annoyed by Kyler's (lack of) reaction.

This was a cute, fluffy "friends-to-lovers" New Adult romance and while it was very predictable, it was also just light, sexy and fun.

It had several laughs, and a lot of steam in the second half and despite the plot being very predictable, sometimes you really need that - especially after a particularly dark or intense read.

The story is about Kyler and Sydney who had been inseparable best friends since childhood ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. But for a long time now, Sydney has been hopelessly in love with him.....

"No one could replace me in his life. I knew that… I was Kyler's best friend. And because of that, he would never love me the way I loved him… Girls were like flavours to him and i wasn't one he wanted to taste."

... and yet Kyler has never felt good enough for her. He'd put her on a pedestal making her both desirable and yet her unattainable for him. So he's distracted himself with other girls - anyone really…

"You could put my ass in brand new sneakers, designer jeans, and a new car, and I was still the same white trash boy from the trailer part who couldn't believe the pretty little girl in class wanted to be friends… Sydney Bell had always been, and would always be, a few pedestals too high for me."

But when a snow storm strands them together in a secluded ski resort, it gives them the perfect opportunity to explore those long hidden feelings....

"How much snow are they calling for?""Somewhere between a lot and holy fuck."

... and the colder it gets outside, the hotter things get between them and as the friend line begins to blur, their true feelings about each other come out. Oh, and let not forget the crazy stalker out there determined to ruin their time.

From the very first few pages, I was smiling but there was certainly a lot of back-and-forth... Holy UST!!! There was sightly more indecision though than my usual preference in a book and by the 35% mark, I was ready to just shove them at each other and not allow them to move until they'd kissed, lol.

The characters insecurities were frustrating at times but at the same time I kinda just went with it. It was clear that Kyler cared for her deeply despite his man-whoring and as things began to heat up romantically between them, the swoon and hotness began to pour in.

"You're better than a one-night stand, Sydney. I can't do that do you… You deserve more."

I read it in one sitting and it just cleared my palate. It was a quick, light, sometimes frustrating but fun read with a bunch of UST, no cliffhanger and a HEA.

In a friendship lines can get blurred. Things can get messy. Friends can fall in love and they can do it without ever telling the person they're in love with. But that does not necessarily mean that the other person is not in love with you. Love is not always unrequited. It can also be requited & that's why you gotta take the chance and say it out loud for you and your best friend to hear it. Take the chance and don't let yourself hurt and don

This was such a beautiful and gratifying story.

In a friendship lines can get blurred. Things can get messy. Friends can fall in love and they can do it without ever telling the person they're in love with. But that does not necessarily mean that the other person is not in love with you. Love is not always unrequited. It can also be requited & that's why you gotta take the chance and say it out loud for you and your best friend to hear it. Take the chance and don't let yourself hurt and don't let your love fade away because this may be your true love. You have nothing to lose & everything to win if it happens.

Sydney & Kyler have been best friends since they were little. They've been feeding each other mudpies. They saw each other growing up, getting interested in boy & girls respectively. That's until Sydney realized she was in love with Kyler. But what she didn't know was that the boy she so much loved and would even stand & watch him become a player, he was in love with her too.

This was stunningly beautiful and I'm so familiar with this story since it's happened to me too and that is beautiful to read, especially through Mrs. Armentrout's eyes who's such a talented and captivating author. She took a story and made everything out of it. She put hurt, confussion, betrayal and a little thriller in it and the result is breath-taking.

What made it that much more interesting to read was the fact that there were parts that were told from Kyler's P.O.V. & you'd read about how much Sydney wanted him and thought he didn't and then you'd read about Kyler trying to do the best for Sydney because he'd never ever want a person like him to hurt Sydney, who he was irrevocably in love with.

If you love Mrs. Armentrout's books and if you're a fan of a cheesy, yet hot, love story with lots of ups & downs then I heartily recommend this one for every romantic soul out there....more

The Good:The synopsis – two attractive people snowed into together with a fire place. This could have lead to some steam and swoon worthy moments. Right?

The dual POV - I liked hearing from Kyler because there is no way I could have only read from Sydney's woe is me voice.

Zach – I mean, obviously he is that good. (view spoiler)[Zach, in a snow storm, can ski carrying an axe to cut down trees so they perfectly take out ones power, he can shoot and hit target during a blizzard, and he knows how to find and disable generators on random houses. I mean, that is pretty good, Right? (hide spoiler)] Zach, the (view spoiler)[evil (hide spoiler)] Chuck Norris of Snowshoe.

The Bad:The plot – the virginal, self-loathing, insecure h, Sydney, and the hot, man-whore, Kyler, long-time best friends who both secretly were in love. <--This just isn’t original what-so-ever.

The lack of hair ties – Yes, you JLA fans, you know the amount of hair in face and need to for the h and H to push it back or tuck it behind her ear, was ever present and represented in every chapter.

The Ugly:The clumsiness – I am surprised that Sydney has lived to her 21st birthday. I would have thought she would have stabbed her eye out with a butter knife or choked on applesauce while home alone. I mean, the amount of times she tripped, stubbed her toes, fell over, broke/almost broke something was ridiculous. I wish I would have counted.

The pace – nothing happened f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I can only read so many miscommunications and lack of adult conversation for so long before my unfortunate eye-rolls are distracting enough that it actually slows down the pace to which I can flip pages.

Sasha - (view spoiler)[The lie Kyler told to Sydney was just pathetic…and then how he just didn’t remember doing it. I hate it when I lie, get caught, and can’t remember lying - such a little bitch. Actually, my main bother is when he went to her house to help her “fix” her busted out windows. I mean, what a set-up. She wanted to lure him to her house - and hook, line, and sinker, Kyler took the bait. He just had sex with Sydney and left her alone, in a sabotaged house with zero way to communicate outside, to go help his ex-bed buddy fix her windows. Ummm, I’m not a rocket scientist but it seems like she’d have other friends or her parents to help her, since it was her hometown. (hide spoiler)]

Sydney – I’m not sure where to start but I’ve mentioned the clumsiness and so I’ll mention the self-loathing and fear of everything was OOC. She was scared of tweezers people. She went on about how she couldn’t even pull out her own splinters. She is 21! This is not normal or cute. Then I kept thinking how did she manage to pluck her eyebrows. (view spoiler)[I also don’t think that the wuss, Syd, would have been shot at and sprayed with glass and cuts and not mentioned it to Kyler. She is simply just too weak. (hide spoiler)]

Overall, this book was just frustrating. I was frustrated because I know JLA can write some good banter and steam. Where the eff was it? What is with the weak, insecure h? I don’t want to read about someone who does nothing but fall down, hurt herself, and compare herself to ONE comment her ex-boyfriend made over two years ago. Sigh. I’m still a fangirl of JLA. I won’t hold this one book against her. I just can’t promise I’ll recommend this book to my friends.["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>...more
